Volunteer in Chitwan-Madi Jungle Village, Nepal

Live the Nepali village life, surrounded by jungle, farmland, and friendly people.

Located near the India-Nepal border, Chitwan-Madi Jungle Village offers volunteers an unforgettable opportunity to immerse themselves in authentic rural Nepali culture. Hosted by a local Nepalese family, volunteers experience daily life, contribute to local development, and explore the surrounding natural beauty.

What You’ll Experience:

  • Cultural Immersion: Live with a Nepali family and experience daily traditions and routines.

  • Traditional Farming: Learn and help with rice planting, animal care, and eco-farming techniques.

  • Community Engagement: Assist in the local school or share your own skills—such as arts and crafts, cooking, health education, or construction.

  • Eco-Tourism: Join jungle walks, picnics, and eco-projects being developed with local families.

  • Needs Research: Help identify and report on challenges in the community for future development work.

Optional Excursion: You can also link your stay with a visit to Chitwan National Park—home to rhinos, elephants, and Bengal tigers (separate cost).

Note: This is a remote, rugged area. Travel can be challenging, especially during monsoon. Accommodation is basic, but the cultural exchange and service impact are incredibly rewarding.
